The defense animations this year are easily the worst I have ever seen in any 2k game before. I don't understand how we've gone from a defensive focus for 2k14 to what we have in today's game. The defense animations, user control, AI intelligence has all gone backwards in a big way over the past 3 years.

Re: Defense needs to be the MAIN focus of development in NBA2K18

The defensive player movement should not be faster imo. I think that poor defenders change direction, and accelerate to quickly. The closeouts on 3 point shooters are to quick for most defenders, and the recovery spped when getting beat is to quick.

My main complaint is with off ball defensive positioning, warping, and the ball not being live. Other then that they should make the defensive movements slower for non elite defenders. Imo.

The close out speed is definitely too quick when 2k lets you move freely(sometimes they stop you from closing out). But imo the lateral quickness in this game is abysmal.

If you wanna be able to play Defense like a beast, you gotta make an LDD or Paint Protector.

Attributes matter more than ever in 2k17.

Everyone should make 1 maxed out LDD and you'll see a whole new side to 2k.

Yep you'll notice how you still get floored to the ground with pick dodger HOF or how many bailout fouls / loose balls the offense gets.

If I make an LDD will the computer still randomly pull me in directions without any user input? Will my ankles still get shattered even though I didn't move during his 18 dribble move combo?
